Your future will not be automated as long there’s cheap labor to be exploited.

@Substack Seriously, what does it take to get your attention to fix something that should be work of about 2 min? I can't access my own newsletter for almost three weeks now and apparently that's okay in your book.

@Substack I reached out twice via your official support bot. It delegated every time to a human support employee but I have not heard back. I am unable to access my newsletter for 2 weeks now and need urgently support. The URL in question is: thenew.igorschwarzmann.com

@Substack My login is schwarzmann@gmail.com – It's a DNS problem with a custom domain situation. I am unable to resolve it myself as the dashboard is unaccessible as well with the custom domain.

@mjays @matter @readwise Yes!

@zeigor @matter @readwise kinda what we dreamed of 10 years ago. now if only URLs were stable 😂

@ArcInternet @dustin I would prefer my pined extensions to be visible at all times and not hidden in a sub menu. The non-pinned extensions on the other hand would also comfortably live in a setting somewhere. But everything like @matter, @feedly or raindrop.io needs to be one click away.

we know the top bar in Arc is kinda annoying…. 😅 ↳ but we also know many of you love extensions @dustin has some potential solutions 𝔽𝕆ℝ 𝕐𝕆𝕌ℝ ℝ𝔼𝕍𝕀𝔼𝕎 📥 reply below w your thoughts!

@christowski Es gibt eine Bar in Düsseldorf wo sie ein gerahmtes hängen haben. Du lenkst sie ab, ich renn damit raus.

@christowski Der Kaffee ist furchtbar aber ich wollte das Poster seit ca. 15 Jahren haben.

@pmoe It’s fair to say that it’s one future. I’m sure that it is but it’s very, very important not to marginalize other future outcomes. But that’s just me.

@pmoe The future is undefined until it becomes the present and as this other quote I’m not a fan of, it’s not usually arrives for everyone, everywhere all at once (I’m full of pop culture today). It might be your future but it’s maybe not the future of the person selling your groceries

Borrowed a cargo bike for a short trip yesterday. Sure enough, borrowed it again for a long trip today. This is definitely the future of inner city commute, haul, and family trips.

@michellzappa @ArcInternet It does as in that I really want it on iOS as well :)

@zeigor @ArcInternet Feels like I should finally give it a shot. Doesn't lack of mobile app bother you?

@pmoe It’s a bidirectional problem. Not everyone wants pays attention to email, not even a concise one. But mostly, agreed.

Most of the time, Loom is just a way to avoid writing concise emails, isn't it?

@hautepop @ThisIsAntwon Is that a Stone Island cross conspicuously floating through the blurred background?

PS @thisisantwon's YouTube is genuinely excellent - check out his interview with ACRONYM's Errolson Hugh here youtube.com/watch?v=mbdmuC…

Had fun talking to Alexis Ong for this - alongside techwear YouTuber extraordinaire @ThisIsAntwon

And I’m not generally opposed to those technologies. I use Grammarly daily. What is so tiresome are the people who build products and market them as something that they’ve not. Why? Because they can’t say: writing tools for mediocre writers who don’t want to put in the effort.

@sevensixfive That sounds like … at least 80 ads that are trying to figure out how to sell someone something who is interested in the end of communism.

Adam Curtis' TraumaZone, the seven hour documentary about the fall of the Soviet Union and Russia, is up on YouTube.

Not hard to imagine a scenario where media publications try to hide the fact that they use synthetic media but charge you for premium human-made content anyway.

Low-effort content is ✨✨✨ term for Synthetic Media. vice.com/en/article/epz…

@feralresearch I’d be scared to walk in there.

@alper Yeah, it’s absolutely insane.
